With the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season – the first part of the larger SuperMotocross series that now shifts to the outdoor series -- in the books, promoters and NBC can report attendance and viewership gains.

According to Feld Entertainment, which promotes the series, over 17 rounds of racing in 16 different markets, 1.15 million combined fans attended live events and pre-race FanFests, with a +2% increase in paid attendance over last season. The series saw sellouts for both events held in Anaheim, San Diego, and Salt Lake City, where Ken Roczen won his first career Supercross championship in his 13th season competing in the 450SMX Class.

For streaming and television, across NBC, Peacock, NBCSN, and NBC Sports Digital, the series that sees races inside stadiums saw increases, as well.

According to Nielsen Big Data + Panel, with digital data from Adobe Analytics, Peacock delivered the most-streamed season on record for Supercross, up +12% compared to last year’s season, which was a record breaker at the time. Showing that the sport is seeing not only fan retention, but growing new ones, with all races streamed live, unique viewership on Peacock was up +27%. Total consumption exceeded one billion minutes faster than any prior season, hitting the milestone during Round 16 in Denver on May 2nd. For context, that figure wasn’t reached until May 24th of last year at the Fox Raceway event.

The start of the season saw the two most-watched Supercross races ever on Peacock – Anaheim 1 (Jan. 10) and Anaheim 2 (Jan. 24). When adding the Salt Lake City finale on May 9, three of the top five most-watched races ever on Peacock came by way of the 2026 season.

The 2026 Supercross season also saw gains on social media. Between SupercrossLive and SuperMotocross social media channels, a total of 8.5 million combined followers had their voices heard across all platforms.
